Another book that I would like to save is Graceling. The main character, Katsa, is graced with killing, and does anything her uncle, the king, tells her too. However, whenever she can, Katsa and her Council conduct secret missions to help people in need. When Katsa meets Po, and becomes friends with him, she realizes that her uncle can't control her, and that she shouldn't let him. When Po reveals the truth of his grace to Katsa, she feels heartbroken and betrayed. Soon, Katsa gets over her anger, because she knows that Po was only doing what he had to do. Soon, Katsa and Po embark on a wild journey to save Po's cousin, Bitterblue, from her father, during which Katsa realizes that her grace is survival, not killing, and also falls in love with Po.
I would save this book because, in addition to being a really great story, it presents a lot of morals and ideas for life. For example, when Katsa realizes that Po kept the truth of his grace a secret from her, she is very angry at him. This is obviously a message that shows that you shouldn't keep secrets from your friends. Also, Katsa gets over being angry at Po very quickly, which shows that forgiveness is one of the best qualities a person can have.
Runner Up #2 The Da Vinci Code
By: Dan Brown
One last book that I would like to save is The Da Vinci Code. In this book, Robert Langdon, a symbologist, is called in to help investigate the death of Jacques Saunière, the curator of the Louvre museum in Paris. Langdon and Sophie Neveu, Saunière's granddaughter, find themselves on a wild adventure to find the information that Saunière left for them to find. They travel across Europe in a search for the Holy Grail, and in a race to find it before Saunière's killers.
I would save this book because, like Graceling and The Host, The Da Vinci Code is a really good novel, it would also be horrible if a book that obviously took so much effort to research and write were destroyed. On one of the first pages of the book, Brown states that "all descriptions of artwork, architecture, documents, and secret rituals in this novel are accurate." This must have taken a very long time to do, because much of the book is describing artwork, architecture, documents and secret rituals. If all of this information is really accurate, it makes The Da Vinci Code a much better book. When you read The Da Vinci Code, you learn a lot, and you don't even know it, because you're enjoying a great novel. Also, when you're reading a long explanation in the book, the information is so interesting that reading the long description isn't boring at all.
